Day 36

We made good overnight progress under sail.  Dodged a few fishing boats and have changed our proposed course, to sail to the wind we have, plus we had stronger winds after passing the Isle of Man.  This meant we got a good tack quite far South.

Our track at 07.37am

Unfortunately during the day the wind moved more to the South West and strengthened.  This has been a bit unpleasant as the boat is moving a lot and occasionally slamming into the waves.  We have also slowed   Our progress South down quite a bit as the tacks are not going in the direction we want to travel.

We have also been keeping a careful listen out to the Coast Guard weather forecast as any further strengthening of the wind would not be welcome.  We have started thinking about our contingency plan to go for Milford Haven rather than go round The Lizard and Lands End.
